Meet Romy Owens

 
You might know we love to travel.  World wide as well as to the smallest city in each state.  Last week I was at the Skirvin Hilton in Oklahoma City and had time to take in the city with an amazing Art Museum.  http://www.okcmoa.com/ It featured a 40 foot tall Chihuly glass sculpture and an exquisite collection of his glass.  But the high point of the trip was meeting Romy.  She was selected as the first Artist in Residence at the Skrivin hotel, a historic building completely restored in 2007.  
 
Romy creates in photography.  She also knits.  A creative spirit at work.  Her large pieces don't resemble any traditional photography, but are a mosaic of her images, carefully spliced with intricate hand stitching to form her impressions.  The piece in the picture took 600 hours to complete and will someday be sold for $39,000, as Romy states, most likely to a business.
